PECK: Hey, you! Consultant boy!
TORME [bone-weary sigh]: Yessss, Pecccck.
PECK: You know that 'Guardian' thing you wrote? The one that was supposed
to be some kinda model for future episodes?
TORME [rolling eyes]: Yeah. I don't suppose you actually got the point?
PECK: Oh, sure I did! I had you all wrong, TormÈ -- I figured
you for some kinda wussed-out pansy who couldn't write worth a &$%#.
But once I saw what you were *really* getting at in 'The Guardian' --
this light just snapped on over my head!
TORME: Wow. [rethinks his opinion of Peck] You really mean that?
PECK: Well, it's just cuz the bulb was hanging over my seat and I stood
up too fast. But I really think I get this Guardian stuff now! I was
talking with Jerry, and we've come up with some *great* new ideas to
improve the show.
TORME [begins fumbling for the bottle of Scotch he keeps under his desk,
all the while keeping his eyes on Peck]: I... see. Do go on.
PECK: Well, for starters, we're bringing back that, uh, Astral Airplane
thingy.
TORME: [braces himself for an almost unparalleled barrage of derivative
crap]
PECK: Ooh, and from now on there's gonna be TWO Quinns. One of 'em has
a vastly more informative timer, and... stuff.
TORME: Hmmm. You know... this doesn't sound one-sixteenth as bad as
I imagined. Is that a demo tape you're holdiii... placing in the VCR?
PECK [beaming]: Trust me. It's Sliders to a whole new level. You're
gonna LOVE this.
